sure there are jobs out there but when they pay the most crappy wages and your actually be worse off with a job where is the incentive to get one?

This programme is amazing. But I also think employers and those recruiting need more support and advice in how to hire/fire people. missunemployme.blogspot.com/

@darkshad109 how do you run your own busines, Let me know please. Thanks!

@m4553y If you wasn't such a failure at life then you wouldn't be shooting for the same jobs as non-English speaking people at KFC.

I left school at 15 so I never passed any of my exams, so don't blame education. I run my own business and have employee's. So instead of whining about there being no jobs I went and made my own job, and through that have created more jobs.

If you really didn't want to be on the dole you wouldn't be. Also it's logical to employ the person asking for less pay.

@darkshad109 So when people are on the dole and are finding it hard to find work then keep your trap shut! If foreigners are coming here and taking our jobs then keep quiet about people claiming dole. At the end of the day foreigners take 80ish% of new jobs so whilst they are taking the jobs us English/British are claiming the dole that you workers are paying for. GREAT!!! ;) THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING!

@darkshad109 That’s fine for you to have an opinion like that. But after experience of seeing Polish people working in let’s say lidl/kfc and you ask them for something, allot of the time you can’t understand what they are saying. I once asked for a bargain bucket and kfc and some polish person gave me something else!

@m4553y If someone who doesn't even know the language of the country their in manages to beat you to a job then you need to blame yourself, not the system. I'm glad people from other countries are able to get jobs here, keeps prices fair with competition. No longer do people get ripped off for a bit of building work.

If your job skills are so useless that you apply for jobs ANYONE can do then you should expect finding a job to be hard... I created my own job with hard work and a bit of vision.

In this current bad state, education would've been the only way out in terms of getting a decent job with good wages, but now the government have stopped a hell of a lot of people from doing that in the future too!
